Hi Andrew,

When the author of Job quoted the remarks of Satan to the LORD, the historical record of that conversation is inspired and infallible, though we know that Satan's words are not from God. When Paul quotes the poets he does he used them in an inspired manner to make his points; this does not mean the quotes themselves are then -- in and of themselves -- considered products of divine inspiration.
